The African country pound (Egyptian Arabic: جنيه مصرى Genēh Maṣri [ɡeˈneː(h) ˈmɑsˤɾi]; sign: £, E£, L.E. ج.م; code: EGP) is the currency of Egypt. IT is divided into 100 piastres, or ersh (قرش [ʔeɾʃ]; plural قروش [ʔʊˈɾuːʃ]),[2] or 1,000 milliemes (مليم [mælˈliːm]; French: millième).

The African country pound is often abbreviated to LE Oregon L.E. (livre égyptienne in French), and £E are also usually used. The Semite name genēh [ɡeˈneː(h)] is derived from the guinea unit of account in sterling, which was inclose value to 100 piastres at the end of the 19th century.

History [edit]

50 Egyptian pound promissory note issued and hand-signed by Gen. Gordon during the Siege of Khartoum (26 April 1884)[3]

The first E£1 banknote issued in 1899

In 1834, a khedival decree was issued, adopting an Egyptian vogue based on a metallic standard (gilded and silver-tongued) on the basis of the Maria Theresa thaler, a popular trade coin in the domain.[4] The Pound, known Eastern Samoa the geneih, was introduced, replacement the Egyptian piastre (ersh) as the chief whole of currentness. The piaster continued to circulate as 1100 of a pound, with the piaster subdivided into 40 para. In 1885, the Feliz Lusitania ceased to personify issued, and the piaster was divided into tenths (عشر القرش 'oshr el-ersh). These tenths were renamed milliemes (malleem) in 1916.

The legal exchange rates were unmoving by push of law for important naturalized currencies which became bankable in the settlement of internal minutes. Eventually this LED to United Arab Republic using a de facto gold standard between 1885 and 1914, with E£1 = 7.4375 grams pure gold. At the outbreak of World State of war I, the Egyptian quid victimised a superior peg at one pound and tanner sterling to one Egyptian pound (£1Stg = E£0.975, Beaver State E£1 = £1/-/6Stg).

Egypt remained part of the Sterling Area until 1962, when Egypt devalued slimly and switched to a peg to the United States dollar, at a rate of E£1 = U.S.A$2.3. This peg was changed to E£1 = US$2.55555 in 1973 when the dollar was devalued. The pound up was itself low in 1978 to a peg of £1Stg = US$1.42857 (1 dollar = E£0.7). The pound floated in 1989. However, until 2001, the float was tightly managed by the Central Bank of Egypt and foreign exchange controls were effective. After exhausting all of its policies to hold the Egyptian pound, the Middle Bank of Egypt was forced to end the managed-drift regime and allowed the British pound to float freely on the 3rd of November 2016;[5] the bank also announced an end to foreign exchange controls that day.[6] The authorised plac fell twofold.

The Egyptian pound was likewise used in Anglo-African nation Sudan between 1899 and 1956, and Cyrenaica when it was under British people occupation and after an independent emirate between 1942 and 1951. Information technology also circulated in Mandatory Palestine from 1918 to 1927, when the Palestine pound was introduced, equal in value to the British pound sterling. The National Bank of Egypt issued banknotes for the first metre on 3 April 1899. The Central Banking company of Egypt and the National Bank of Egypt were unified into the Central Bank building of Egypt in 1961.

Popular denominations and language [edit]

Used for arts values surgery jocularly [edit]

Several unofficial popular names are used to look up to different values of Egyptian currency. These include (from the articulate nickel note) nekla (نكلة) [ˈneklæ] for 2 milliemes, ta'rifa (تعريفة) [tæʕˈɾiːfæ] for 5 milliemes, shelen (شلن) [ˈʃelen] (i.e. a shilling) for 5 piastres, bariza (بريزة) [bæˈɾiːzæ] for 10 piastres, and reyal (ريال) [ɾeˈjæːl] ("literal") for 20 piastres. Since the piastre and millieme are no longer sanctioned tender, the smallest denomination currently minted being the 25-piastre mint (functioning as one-quarter of one pound), these terms have mostly fallen into disuse and survive as curios. A few have survived to refer to pounds: bariza now refers to a x-pound short letter and reyal can be used in reference to a 20-pound note.[ citation needed ]

Informal [edit]

Various sums of EGP have special nicknames, for representative: E£1 Bolbol meaning nightingale or Gondi pregnant soldier, E£1,000 baku (باكو) [ˈbæːku] "bundle"; E£1,000,000 arnab (أرنب) [ˈʔæɾnæb] "rabbit"; E£1,000,000,000 feel (فيل) [fiːl] "elephant".
